Papercraft Tip - Create Extra Embellishments!


I hate wasting all the lovely packaging that most of my ribbons, stickers and papers come in and Santoro's Gorjuss 'Reuse and Recycle' labels gave me a great idea - why not use hole punches for extra embellishments to add to my cards? I have heart, flower and square shaped punches so far so I've been busy making lots of little embellishments to add to my cards.


If you flip the punch over it gives you a much better idea of just what you're cutting out, which is useful when you've got a border like the one above close by. I used the square punch along the border for alternating black and white designs and plan to store them in small zip lock bags for future use.


Here's one I made earlier! I thought that the card was a bit blank so used the heart shapes from packaging to embellish the card and make it look a bit more interesting.
